I did NOT do factory reset for the Router. I only did reset for the Satellite to remove the wireless backhaul sync.
Did you factory reset your satelite or just regular reset?
Took the plunge today updating from 2.3.1 ro 2.3.5. Procedure done without factory reset.
Quiesced entire home network except for PC desktop conneected to RBR50.
Used manual method via Chrome browser management console.
Applied update to satellite first and then base router. Rebooted both devices for good measure.
The router update took longer than the 3 minutes stated. Included screenshot a bit unsettling and probably should be looked into by Netgear.
Results so far show no discernable performance differences. iPhones one room away still don't hold a 5G connection to satellite. This appears worse on the past few releases.
Still to test for WiFi calling reliability.
